review

The River of Corn by John Rose Putnam is one of the best historical novels I have read in a long time. It's fast paced and full of action which will leave you breathless as you read this book.

The author has done an excellent job of developing a storyline that is captivating and realistic. It is obvious the author has done his research on the historical era and the native culture of that period. I really enjoyed the book and found myself absorb by the story.

John Rose Putnam developed a set of characters that were both real and very believable. It was easy to identify with them and get deep into their story and lives.

I really liked The River of Corn by John Rose Putnam and highly recommend this book to all readers.

review	The Great Law of Peace (Book 3 of The Peacemaker Trilogy) by Zoe Saadia is an excellent example of how historical fiction should be written. This fast paced novel will grab you and not let you go. The author did a great job of continuing the story of how five American Indian tribes united and brought peace to their world. In book 3 you can see the emotions and intrigue build to their conclusion, keeping you glued to every page of the story. I really like the way the author uses fiction to bring historical events to life. Zoe Saadia did an excellent job of developing her characters to be both, real and believable. You could see them grow and develop through each of the books and fully mature in book 3. I really like her characters and found myself really getting into their storyline. The Great Law of Peace (Book 3 of The Peacemaker Trilogy) by Zoe Saadia is an excellent book and I highly recommend this book and the entire series to all readers.     [Please note: I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.] Click Here to order your copy of The Great Law of Peace from Amazon.com

review	Across the Great Sparkling Water (Book 2: The Great Peacemaker Series) by Zoe Saadia is an excellent, fast paced adventure which will grab you by the seat of your pants and not let you go. If you like great historical fiction you will love this book and series. The author continues her series of the adventures that began in Book 1 - Two Rivers and the storyline and adventure does not miss a beat. Zoe Saadia continues to do an excellent job of developing her story and characters. As they progress, you can see them mature and grow stronger. I really enjoy reading historical fiction. This is especially true when I can tell the author took the time to actually research the material and attempts to stick to historical facts. It is evident that Zoe Saadia has done just that. This series will bring the history of the period to life. Her storytelling style will take you to the area and you will hear the sounds and "smell the flowers." I love being transported into a story. This was an excellent read and I really enjoyed it. I highly recommend Across the Great Sparkling Water by Zoe Saadia.      [Please note: I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.] Click Here to order your copy of Across the Great Sparkling Water from amazon.com

review	Fargoer by Petteri Hannila is an action packed adventure and historical fiction. I found it hard to put down once I started reading. Originally translated from the Finnish novel "Kaukamoine," it is the story of the struggle of the native North American population and their early contact with the Vikings. The author did a great job of developing a storyline that was fast paced and full of plot twist. This easy to read and follow book stayed true to what few historical facts we have of that period. I really like the way Petteri Hannilia developed his main characters. They were both very believable and easy to follow. This is one of those books where you find yourself holding your breath waiting to see what happens next to the heroine. Fargoer by Petteri Hannilia is an excellent book and I highly recommend this book to all readers.   [Please note: I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.]       Click Here to order your copy of Fargoer from Amazon.com

review	I really enjoy reading good historical fiction and Two Rivers by Zoe Saadia is great historical fiction. It will keep you glued to the pages and wanting more. Zoe Saadia’s style of storytelling brings history to life. Her characters add realism to the history and make it easier to relate to and follow. Once again she has done an excellent job of character development, creating characters that are easy to identify with. It is apparent from the beginning that Zoe Saadia has done her homework and research into the history of this era. She has taken know historical events and added her characters and a little fictional twist to make it come alive. Yet, she sticks to the basic historical truths of the era. I really enjoyed Two Rivers by Zoe Saadia and highly recommend this book.   [Please note: I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.] Click Here to order your copy of Two Rivers from amazon.com
